So after bouncing the rev limiter at 8k under power last night and then raising it to 8200 and then 8300 but being carefull to let off the throttle as I coasted through the traps at around 20% TPS I thought of an idea.

What about also adding in a throttle limiter using our built in fly by wire maps?

The Throttle maps could easily be edited by changing the 7500 line to 8000 (or 100 less than your limiter) and the 8000 line to whatever your current rev limiter is. Then you could max out the values between 0% and 20% across the board in the last row which should be enough to maintain speed but basically let off the throttle for you in the event you rev that close to the limiter.

So far my car seems to be ok with ~8200 but I'm assuming that bouncing the limiter at full boost would be more stress than just coasting near the limiter. I think anything that reduces the chance of valve float is a good thing, it would also help let off the gas quicker than any human if you over revved the engine in gear.

Is there any drawback to this setup? I may test this by lowering my rev limiter to 7300 temporarily and see how it works and report back.

 

Thats how the new DBW subies are
shuts the throttle instead of using ah hard limiter (which is still there but 500 rpm higher)

PM me i can help you set it up

 

I tested it out the last couple days... setting it for 0% feels like you are hitting a limiter anyways. 20% TPS was better, not quite as violent but still not what I expected. Likely you would need to set it for 30-40% TPS max but I think I'll just manually lift the throttle as for whatever reason it's reacting differently than doing it electronically.
